Slowly, with his approval and unfazed determination, Elric forced his fire to burn against the invasive smoke of corruption. And with a crisp steaming sound, the essence of the Ancestral Dragon slowly made its way out of his soul and immediately absorbed back to his physical body through the pores.
"Just, ten percent should be enough or I would not be able to control it." Elric opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground. He faced the pursuing giant coral mountain beast with an unfazed calmness.
Aghus was still safely standing in his spot at the gates of the Golden castle a few miles away from his current location - laughing and greedily salivating in his early celebration.
With the giant coral mountain beast inching closer and closer, Elric suddenly kneeled with his eyes closed.
"He has finally given up! Whahahaha!" Aghus's howled in joyful laughter after seeing Elric kneeling to his giant summoned beast.
This is the best scene he could ever imagine!
Seeing his praying bowing down before him was just too satisfying as it only shows how dominant his overall power was!
See this Mahar? Not even this powerful warrior with dragon blood and destructive spear can stand against my might! You should just watch in vain of my glory wherever you are right now!
WAAANG!~
The next moment, Aghu's maniac hollering stopped as his eyes almost popped out of its socket.
A brilliant beam of light had just flashed over his view and the next moment a deafening collapse of the giant beast of him reverberated across the water realm.
His proud creation - the giant coral mountain beast was vertically sliced apart into two leaving a deep burning deep cleave at the center!
Standing at the far end of the scorching ground is a man with bright burning wings of fire and a sword the emitted a blue fiery blaze. This is the exact sword that cut the gigantic summon he just made which he was so proud of just a few seconds ago.
Elric's eyes were glaring with unholy authority. Watching at the dominating power of Elric, Aghus could not help but choke on his saliva.
"Hurry! We are saved!"
"That was too close! Hurry! Let's run away from here."
"Our Lord has gone mad!"
"Oooong~"
Every merfolks and creatures who managed to survive from the damage caused by the giant coral mountain beast heaved a deep sigh of relief. However, they knew that anything could still happen and with hurried looks, everyone continued to dash away from the battlefield.
Aghus stood in shock. Elric's revitalized presence alone sent shivers down his spine and his instinct was in full alarm sending him no fight or flee signals but RUN and NEVER RETURN instead!
The blazing fiery sword brought along sharpness and destruction that tends to slice anything and everything in its path! With Elric wielding it around with unexplainable power, it was bound to be a massacre!
RUN!
It was the only thing in the mind of Aghus but his heart and pride glued on him on the spot. It was just a moment ago when the chicken was readily served in a plater, how come it suddenly came back to life and even transformed into a phoenix?
No! I refuse to back down!
Gritting his teeth, Aghus decided to fight back despite his instinct telling him to flee. Desperation and madness clouded his eyes to see the vast difference in their power.
"I am the Lord of the Water realm! No one is higher than me in this world! All the water beings are mine to control and use! I call thee, Unholy Sacrifice!" with his last remaining strength, Aghus suddenly raised his hands and a black aura channeled out of his body and scattered towards the remaining creatures of the water realm.
Every living thing from beautiful water plants, giant octopus, giant crabs, mountain-sized whales, and merfolks, everyone who was hit by the channeled dark aura suddenly dropped down as their strength and vitality left them and merged with Aghus thru the dark aura.
Even the summoned gigantic coral mountain beast stopped moving as the life it was given was being sucked back to its owner.
In an instant, Aghus's power rose to an unprecedented level. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He was more than willing to sacrifice every single creature of the water realm just to heed his call of desperate power.
With Elric as an impetus for this change, Aghus gladly received the power from an unholy sacrifice with open arms. This time, Aghus has lost himself in greed for power.
The dark aura of the Unholy Sacrifice darted straight towards Elric wanting to take his life as well but with a simple flick from the latter, the dark aura dissipated like tiny bubbles.
Seeing the horrible effect on the creatures of the water realm by the dark aura from Aghus, Elric made no further hesitation as he suddenly turned into a blur.
Elric dashed around brandishing his sword of fire with unimaginable speed, saving the last remaining creatures of the water realm from the dark aura while leaving multiple afterimages behind.
Whooosh!~Wooosh!~ Whoosh~
"What!" Seeing Elric cutting and stopping his branching dark aura, Aghus hurried to absorb the power and digested them right away.
"Stop him!" Aghus commanded his soldiers to stop the incoming Elric but he soon realized that every single army that he had are now nothing but armor and bones scattered everywhere.
"I guess this power should be enough to take care of this fire bat, perhaps its time I show some real lord-level power!" With overwhelming power gushing inside his now-massively mutated body, Aghus waved his hands madly towards Elric like a crazed psychopath sending massive compressed water blades that cut thru everything in its path!
BAANG!
BAAANG!
BAAANG!
Seeing the incoming water blades that span a hundred meters coming at him, Elric decided to face this incoming attack with his power and speed.
BANG-SLASH!
BANG -SLASH! SLASH!
Despite his extraordinary speed, Elric was hit by one the hundreds of darting water blades and huge explosions of dust and rocks decorated the land of the water realm.
"Hahahaha! How does it feel being cut by me fire bat? You should feel honored that you were able to witness me in my best form!" Flaunting his over-muscular body, Aghus waved his hands with fierce movements sending more water blades more than a hundred meters of width.
With each attack, the rocks and land formation of the water realm are undergoing massive configuration with nothing to see at the moment but grounded dust from the conflicting power!
